NEC POWERMATE VE - SERVICE MANUAL 08-1996 Service Manual page 73

The diskette drive and IDE cables shipped with the system each support two devices. Cable
connector locations on the system board are shown in Figure 3-14.
Diskette Drive Signal Cable
A three-connector diskette drive signal cable comes attached to the system board and to the
standard 1.44-MB diskette drive.
The installation of a second diskette drive in your system does not require the replacement
of the existing diskette drive signal cable. Connect an optional diskette drive to the middle
connector on the standard diskette drive signal cable.
The colored edge of the cable goes to pin 1 on the cable connector. Align the red edge of
the cable with pin 1 (the notched end) on the drive connector.
